Olga & Sergey

Nomadic couple in their 30s eager to share love with pets all around Europe, with flexible timelines and a car, non-smoking.

About Olga & Sergey

We are Olga and Sergey - originally from Moscow, we moved to Latvia several years ago because we wanted to live closer to nature and enjoy “small town” life. We left office and have been successfully working for ourselves for the last 5 years travelling between our houses in Latvia, Russia and Thailand. Due to extensive travelling we were not ab...

We are Olga and Sergey - originally from Moscow, we moved to Latvia several years ago because we wanted to live closer to nature and enjoy “small town” life. We left office and have been successfully working for ourselves for the last 5 years travelling between our houses in Latvia, Russia and Thailand. Due to extensive travelling we were not able to get a pet of our own and we’ve been really sad about it, because we really want to share our love. Though we are new to housesitting we are not new to the animal care - collectively we were proud owners of several big dogs (lab, german shepherd, airedale terrier), cats, small animals like hamsters and even two horses.

We both work online so are able to live in different locations. Olga is an illustrator working mostly with american & european clients and Sergey works as a journalist. Previously we both worked as sport journalists in biggest russian sport newspaper called “Soviet Sport” (that's how we met). We used to travel for work most time of the year writing about World Championships, Olympic games and making interviews with world class athlets. Though it was a wonderful time in our lives, we enjoy our current more calm life style, when we have time to take walks in the forest or go to the nearest farm to take milk from the cow :)

Why we want to house sit

We want to have an opportunity to give love & dedicate time to your pet since we can’t have a pet of our own, and it would be super-rewarding to know that our help will give you freedom to travel without worrying about how things are going back at home.

We had our share of travels around the world and saw lots of great places, but we would really love to explore new places from a “person who lives there” point of view. We want to stay at one place for some time and really get to know it rather than galloping throughout and not remembering what we’ve seen.

Our experience

First and foremost we are animal lovers - we like cats, dogs, birds, fish, horses and basically all types of animals. Though we have most experience with cats, medium to large breeds of dogs & horses - Olga has owned several horses of her own and have 10+ years of riding experience.

Having been home owners ourselves we have lots of respect for people’s belongings and the house itself. We’ll maintain it in good condition and would be carefull with all of your things.

As we work from home, we’ll be able to keep your animals company and we are happy to give you regular updates via whatsapp, email or any other means of communications if you ant to.

We would be happy to assist with any garden maintenance and light work around the house. If your pets need some special attention we’ll be happy to assist - we can visit the vet, give medications.

Olga and Sergei were just great house- and catsitters. The cats were very happy and we were always provided with photos during our vacation. So we could enjoy it without any concerns.

We can recommend Olga an Sergei without any hesitations and would take them again any time. + More

Olga and Sergey were wonderful house sitters. They looked after our dogs very well and kept us updated with lovely pictures. This was our first time to have house sitters and I would definitely recommend Olga and Sergey. They are great ambassadors for the organisation. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we wish them well in their adventures.

Olga and Sergey were our first-ever house sitters, and we couldn't have had a better introduction! They were amazing..... they coped with a dysfunctional boiler and various bits of wildlife being scattered around the house.

Olga and Sergey were our first-ever house sitters, and we couldn't have had a better introduction! They were amazing..... they coped with a dysfunctional boiler and various bits of wildlife being scattered around the house. They also didn't mind feeding my neighbour's cat whilst she was away.Max and Ziggy had a great time and were really not that fussed to see us on our return!All-in-all we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone, especially newbies, like us!
